Have you stayed in Custer State park in SD-please answer....

We are looking to stay in the cabins there. Are they decent? Which one is better Blue Bell campground or Game Lodge campground? Thanks so much!

And, to be honest, I cannot remember where the cabins were located precisely, other than to say there was a very cold lake in walking distance. (I even went to my files to pull out the ten page travelogue that I wrote on this trip. No specific mention of which cabin location.)

Our cabin was simple, but certainly sufficient. It had a knotty pine interior, beds, a bath, period. Outside there was a picnic table and a grill. Greater luxury could be found at the lodge, but the cabin certainly suited our purpose. Our son was five at the time, so he had lots of outdoor space to run in.

Sorry that my memory is not better. Jane

Thanks for looking it up for me. :-)

I haven't stayed at either, but I lived in Rapid City for 11 years and we took many trips into the hills. It was always my desire to stay at the Blue Bell Cabins because the area was just so beautiful.

Maybe someday we should do that when we go home to visit family.

Thank you for your advice!

If you can drive over to see the Close Encounters thingie - whadducallit - Devil's Tower - it is also great 9takes about an hour or so to hike on the trail around it.)

we are planning our itinerary of what to do, so I'm glad for all the advice!

I don't recall the name of the cabins we stayed in, but they were near the lodge for dining. It's been a while, but they were well kept. We stayed in cabins at all the national and state parks we passed through while out west and all were about the same. Older, clean, fine. My favorite part of the park are the cabins by Sylvan Lake! Stay there!
